Accecjes to American Demands
Without Conditions. *■
RRENDEKS CUBA, PHILIPPINES AND GUAM
D CEDES ISLAND OF PORTO RICO. -
Treaty of Peace Will Now Be Formulated and Signed By the
Commlfialons—United Staten Will Pay Twenty Million
Dollars For Philippines-Negotiation!! From
Beginning to End Are Condemned
On All Sides.
Bpein ha* accepted the United
Staton’ offer of 130,000,000 and at a
joint session of the peace commis
sions at Paris Monday afternoon con
sented without condition to relinquish
Cubs and cede Porto Rico, Guam and
^he Philippine islands.
The dooument presenting this ac
ceptance contained only 800 words.
It opened with a reference to the final
terms of the United Stores, and said
that the Spanish commissioners, sfter
having taken cognizance of the terms
proposed by the Americans, replied
that their government had tried to
give as equitable an answer as possi
ble, but that they were not prepared
to commit their government to the ac
ceptance of the principles embodied
in the American argument.
"Spain rejects these principles,"
the note continues, "as she always
lias rejected them."
Basing her attitude upon the justice
of her canse, the note then snyn she
still adheres to these principles,
"which she has heretofore invariably
formulated." However, the note adds,
in her desfte for penco ehfe has gone so
far an to propose certain compromises
which the Americans huve always re
conolnnion of the translation the com
missioners empowered SenortOjeda,
secretary of the Spanish commission,
and Secretory Moore, of the American
commission, to draw up artioles which
are to embody the relinquishment of
Cuba by Spain and the cession by
Spain of Porto Kico and the Philip
pines.
Meeting Was Interesting.
- A great deal oi interest was taken in
Monday's meeting. The two commis
sion* arrived at the foreign offloe in
the rain almost simultaneously, and
repairing to tho conference room, im.
mediately opened the only business
before them. Henor Montaro Bios,
the president of the Spanish peace
commission, has usually preceded the
presentation of a Spanish communica
tion in writing by verbally summaris
ing it, but Monday Senor 'Hios was
silent and unusually grave. His fnco
wns deeper lined and.he clearly show
cd the mental .strain under which he
was laboring as he approached the
final relinquishment of Spain’s col
pniul possessions. *
Withont a word, Senor Montoro
Bios produced two typewritten sheets
and passed them to the interpoter of
the United Staten commission, Mr.
Ferguson, who read them, snbstnnti
jeotnd. Hho has also attempted, it is! ally as cabled, the outline of the
further asserted, to have submitted to
arbitration some of the material par
ticulars upon which the two govern
ments differed. These proposals for
arbitration, it is added, the Americans
had equally rejected.
These allegations in Spain's reply ns
to attempted arbitration, refer to her
proposal to arbitrate the construction
of the third* artiolo of the protocol,
and also to submit tho Spnnisli colo
nial debt of Cuba and the Philippines
to arbitration. Ths last proposition
lias been made in n written communi
cation. Since its presentation and in
return for such arbitration, Spain of
fered to code the territory iu dispute.
Tho Americans refused both proposi
tions for arbitration.

later to a correspondent of* the Asso
dated Press by Senor Ojedn.
The commissioners left the foreign
office immediately after the secretaries
had been directed to prepare the arti
oles of the peace treaty. There was
scarcely any Conversation betweon the
American and Spanish commissioners
after the adjournment.
Among the Americans only the most
grnvo consideration for their Spanish
colleagues was nppnrent. The Span
iards seemed to be relieved at having
, arrived at the conclusion of the long
j controversy.

PORTO RICO PESTS.
Dlfflcultle. Which the Cattle Bailors Find
Almost Insurmountable.
Two pests havo to be fought by the
cnttlo raisers of Porto Bico whioh
would be altogether strange to a farmor
of .the North. One is the guava and
tlio other 1b a peculiar plant oallod by
the local people "mori vivi.” The
guava, where it is welcomed, is used
ns n worthy fruit nnd furnishes the
universal dessert for the dinner in
Cuba and this island—guava paste with
choose. But on the cattle ranch it is
anathema. Wherever the guava grows,
cnttle eat tho fruit with avidity. They
scattor the seeds all about the ranch,
and the energetic guava multiplies.
It is of rapid growth, and nlmost im
possible of extermination except by
the olosest care. Like the thistles of
some Northern farms, it overwhelms
nature and takes /the place for its own.
The other pest, whioh by a free
translation may be callod “it lives nnd
it Hies,” is a sensitive plant in its
Betion, but extromely hardy in its
ability to survive attack. The centre
of the little weed is surrounded by a
series of very sharp and stiff piuos
which lie flat on the ground when tho
plant iB not disturbed. At the first
tauoh, however, they rise erect nnd
bristlo with points like a porcupine on
a small scale.
As the cattle graze about the pasture
they come to these armored weeds and
attempt to cat the tempting bit in the
center. Then the spine3 rise to stab
the tender nose of the destroyer, and
he retreats in haste. It does not take
long for cattle to learn the wisdom of
not poking their noses into the mori
vivi, Then tho plant multiplies un-
siderations of humanity and patriot
ism, to submit to the conditions of the
conquering nation, However harsh they
may be.
She is,therefore, ready to accept tho
proposals of the American commission
as presented at the last sitting.
The reailiug and translation occu
pied less than five minutes. At the
QUAY’S CASE CALLED.
Senator’* Attorney'* File Detmii-ror* to
Four of (he Five Indictment*.
The case of Senator Quay and oth
ers, charged with conspiracy in the
misuse of money of the stute on deposit
in the People's bank, came up in the
court of quarter sessions at Philadel
phia Monday.
The defendants, who are Senator
M. 8. Quay, his son, Bichard B.
Quay, and Benjamin J. Haywood, ex-
etate treasurer, were not in court,
their interests being looked after by
their attorneys. Immediately upon
the opening of court domurrers were
filed to four of the five indictments
found against the defendants by the
grand jury and also filed a motion to
quaHh the fifth indictment.
Upon conclusion of arguments the
court took the papers under advise
ment.
The papers, however, publish gloomy
articles, sadly reminding the country
that the day is one long to be remem
bered as marking the "closing soeueof
a glorious colonial history.”

A Washington dispatch says: Chair

committee in an interview with
Washington Star reporter explained
the term “open-door” policy, as ap
plied to the future commerce of the
Philippines.
“The phrase ‘open-door policy,’ "
said Mr. Dingley, “means simply
equality of treatment, aud not. tree
trade. Asapplied to the independency
of a country, it simply means that im
ports from all countries are to be ad
mitted upon the snme terms as imports
from the mother country. As applied
to the Philippines, it would mean that
imports from other foreign countries
are to be admitted at the same rates
of duty as imports from the United
States.

The Lait of the Delawnves.
The proposed exodus of the Dela
ware Indiana from the United States
to Mexico is the latest and most
shameful commentary in the history
of onr dealings with the Indian tribes.
These Indians always have been
pence Indians. They have not only
kept peace with the white man, but
they have been his allies and pro
tectors agniust the aavago tribes of the
West.
They surrendered the first of then-
lauds to William Penn, nnd they have I
boon engaged iu the snme sort of real
estate transactions over siuoe. Their
present aud last stnnd is iu the Indian
Territory, where their neighbors, tho
Cherokocs, are seeking to compel
them to put their tribal lands, which
they bought aud paid for, into n com
mon pool, aud the case is now pend
ing in the United States Court of
Claims.
They have finally lost faith in tho
white man and propose to take up
their abode in Mexioo, where the In
dian enjoys all the rights and privi
leges accorded to other inhabitants
and where a land title in the name of
an Indian is as valid and lasting as if
it ware in the name ot a ruling don.
The great Chief Logan saw with a
prophetic eye the decline of his tribe,
